Ignoring record formats

 

When you use a multiple-format logical file, the system assumes that you want to use all the formats defined for the file. However, if you do not want to use all the formats, you can specify which formats you want to use and ignore.

If you do not use this option to ignore formats, your program can process all formats defined in the file. For more information about this processing option, see your high-level language topic collection.
